I hope Milestone executee on the app / marketplace approach, though I am skeptical about execution.
Making video surveillance more 'software centric' is a great way to fight off commoditization. If Milestone could really make VMS 'apps' easy and powerful, it could make things better for end users and systems more powerful.
But Milestone's execution is suspect. A lot of this seems to be because they are so wrapped up into talking about 'thinking bigger' and 'non linear disruption' that execution is secondary. This is a company whose main focus for the past few years has been Husky - NVR boxes 10 years too late...
The low end of the market is probably lost, but Milestone needs to find the right engineering execution to stop the real challenges of high-end rivals like Avigilon's tight end-to-end solution and Genetec's increasingly powerful hybrid enterprise cloud.

What is non-linear disruption supposed to mean anyway? As opposed to what?
btw, Cortez didn't burn his ships, he sunk them, though the point remains. :)

So Milestone's gonna have an app store and the CEO is laying down a modern buzzword trail before they try to buy a booth at SXSW. And you seasoned Milestone veterans don't actually see anything different other than the glow around the marketing blurbs. (And I assume Milestone has not as of my post woken up and offered IPVM any feedback...)

I must say I was wrong about Milestone's direction since Canon purchased both them and Axis. I assumed that Canon would want to go after the Avigilon strategy and be able to offer an end to end solution in an IP CCTV project. Being at the MIPS conference and seeing the non stop selling of the open platform community and how much money they are investing in this marketing I would say that this is not hype but real substance.

How can the largest VMS provider waste their precious influence on something so passé. Open is the new normal, welcome to 2016 Milestone...
